What songs from the Rock Band discs don't import into later versions?
I know there are certain songs that cannot be imported from one version of Rock Band into another due to licensing issues. What songs from Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are restricted in this way?
Solution 1:
These songs can't be exported and played in other versions of Rock Band:
Rock Band 1
- "Enter Sandman" by Metallica
- "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath
- "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden
- "Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers ***
-
"Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden ***
***: This song can be exported and played in Rock Band 2, but couldn't be played in Rock Band 3 when it was released. However, it can be played after installing a patch released November 8, 2011.
European version
The above, plus:
- "Monsoon" by Tokio Hotel
- "Hier Kommt Alex" by Die Toten Hosen †
-
"Rock 'n' Roll Star" by Oasis †
†: This song can be exported and played in Rock Band 2, but can't be played in Rock Band 3.
